Manhattan

When the Goldin family purchased The Garland Sweet Works from a former Johannesburg Mayor in 1948, they changed the name to Manhattan in the hope of creating an overseas quality image for the product. In those days Manhattan sweets were loosely packed in 5kg boxes for shop delivery and then transferred into glass counters displaying pictures of the Manhattan skyline to distinguish the product from its competitors. Those days are gone, but the brand’s appeal remains enduring! Today the brand includes favourites such as Jelly Babies, Wine Gums, and Pink & White Marshmallows. We’re proud to have Manhattan within the Premier stable since the company acquisition of the brand in May 2013.
